Bikes: 1990 Specialized Sirrus Triple, 1985 Trek 460, 2005 Lemond Tourmalet, 1984 Schwinn LeTour 'Luxe, 1988 Trek 400T, 1985 Trek 450, 1997 Lemond Zurich, 1993 Diamond Back Apex, 1988 Schwinn Circuit, 1988 Schwinn Prologue, 1978 Trek TX700, Sannino

I was not able to find much info on Diamondbacks. I bought an Apex of unknown vintage and wanted to know the same thing. I ended up looking at the Shimano date codes. They were all late '92 so I figure I have a 1993 Apex. The components description on bikepedia is a match for that year as well. Mine says "Diamond Back" with two words on the downtube. I understand later it changed to one word like on your bike. That should help get you closer anyway.
